National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week is from May 27 to the June 3. This is a dedicated time to respect, commemorate and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and achievements.

Since the Staughton Vale Leaders’ Day earlier this term, both Middle School and Senior School SRC students have been working tirelessly to plan activities for National Reconciliation Week. This week is full of fun and engaging activities, including Indigenous recipes available from the library, a presentation on Significant Indigenous Australians, a Creative Competition and a Bingo Challenge. Additionally, our bell music will also feature Indigenous Australian artists to further celebrate and recognise Indigenous voices and talent.

These activities are open to all students, and we encourage everyone to get involved and celebrate the week respectfully. This year the theme is ‘ALL IN’, therefore, it is important that we all get involved and commemorate Indigenous Australians.

Students and staff are encouraged to wear Indigenous flag-coloured accessories on Wednesday 3 June. Remember no face painting allowed.
